Longtime cornerback Ty Law was voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame today. He'll be inducted Aug. 1 at 4:30 p.m. during a free ceremony outside The Hall at Patriot Place, and he'll also be honored in a halftime ceremony Oct. 16 when the Patriots host the Jets at Gillette Stadium.

“Ty Law was one of the greatest players in franchise history and one of the premier corners in the NFL during his Patriots career,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said in a statement. “The fans have helped validate that with this year’s hall of fame selection. We have had an incredible run of success and the building blocks started with players like Ty. He was an important part of three Super Bowl championship teams. It will be an honor to bring Ty back to celebrate his career as he takes his rightful place in our team’s hall of fame. I am sure he will deliver another memorable moment during his hall of fame ceremony, too.”

Law was selected as one of three finalists last month, along with Bill Parcells and Raymond Clayborn, and the fans voted Law into the Hall.

Law is the 22nd member of the Patriots Hall of Fame, and he joins Drew Bledsoe (2011), Troy Brown (2012) and Tedy Bruschi (2013) as the only players to be elected during their first year of eligibility.
